From ComingSoon.Net

Jason Behr is The Tattooist
Source: Variety August 25, 2006


Jason Behr (The Grudge) has signed to star in thriller The Tattooist. Commercial director Peter Burger is making his feature debut on the film from a script by Matthew Grainger and Jonathan King.

"Tattooist" casts Behr as a tattoo artist who becomes fascinated by the Samoan tatau tradition, but his desire to learn the ancient skill brings him into conflict and danger with the island mysticism and a deadly spirit is released as a result.

Filming starts next month in and around Auckland, New Zealand.

Some news at last!!!

So, do we have any Obsessies in New Zealand? Our little world traveler strikes again

Somehow I can't help but think that ML and a few others will just sigh when they hear the subject matter and go, "Well, at least we'll see Jason"

You know what, this part doesn't sound like much of a stretch from his real personality. He does seem like the type who would become fascinated with things like that Might even have been a factor in his liking the script; a way to learn about this without all the conflict and danger!

Sounds like this one also has a bit of a supernatural twist. Cool

Not much there yet but I guess we should keep an eye on it: The Tattooist (2007) at IMDB.

From indexfilm.com

Quote:

Index Films is the development and production company of Matthew Grainger and Jonathan King. We are based in Wellington, New Zealand.

Matthew Grainger and Jonathan King are writing THE TATTOOIST for Touchdown Films. The film is produced by Robin Scholes and is scheduled to shoot in 2006.

New Zealand Film News
The Tattooist
Producer: Robin Scholes; Touchdown Films Ltd
Writers: Jonathan King, Matthew Grainger
Director: Peter Burger
$98,923 offered for advanced development


Sounds like a very small budget and possible limited indie release to me. We'll have to work to find this one! I think we're up to the challenge

Jonathan King has a movie at the Toronto Film Festival this year, so that might make our job of finding this easier

Fearless Leader!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the News! Finally some New News on Our Man!

Maybe ButterflyBehr, Sarzy, Danie, Mezzi, T.Kender, JC, & Time Lord, (just to name a few), will be taking a little trip to NZ to see Our Man since they live in OZ.

Thanks So Very Much Again!

hugs,
Wen

Brilliant hunting FL - I haven't had a chance to come for a couple days so it's great to pop back on the JB board and see this wonderful news! Thanks I think it's very cool he'll be able to incorporate his actual tattoo into this - wonder if he'll come away from this with a few new ones?

Wonder when we'll get a chance to see this one?

Not a lot about it on IMDb yet, except it says it's in pre-production, it's expected in 2007 and the locations are not only New Zealand but also Singapore.

Great find FearlessLeader! And Jason will get a free trip to New Zealand! Don't know if he has fans there (I'm sure he does), but there are plenty of Aussie fans nearby!

Oh, gosh, those Maori and Samoan tattoos are all over the face sometimes, so I hope Jason doesn't get any of THOSE! His Asian tattoos are very tasteful and I hope he STOPS THERE! But... that's just me. I really hate tattoos.

It does seem right up his alley though, a tribal culture and mysticism and art (and the infliction of pain and suffering - ahem) - sounds like a very interesting film (plus shows about tattoos are 'hot' right now - lookat Miami Ink and all those other shows about tatto parlors doing so well).

I'm glad he's got a new project! Want our guy to keep busy, be creative, make money, get to travel and be excited about new things!

Well thanks FL for finding this for us.

Lord, can we all say a big AMEN in hoping that this film will actually be in theaters next year? I sincerely hope this will be good for him.


I found this article about TouchDown Films with a small mention about the film and Peter Burger.

We don't really want Jason to look like this!



Although Samoan tattoos are more ornate and more all over like pants - but - not those either!

I'm thinking more like Wentworth Miller's character's tats on Prisonbreak... but with an island flavor...
gotta run - just got a last minute call to go to work...

Ooh, a new movie!

He's a tattooist, eh? Nice! But I really hope he doesn't get one of those Samoan tattoos in New Zealand. The Rock has one covering the entire upper left portion of his arm and chest extending to his back. It's quite large and distracting.

And in New Zealand?! How cool! Jason must be thrilled to shoot there.

Great news! Thanks for finding info and posting it, FL! (And it's about time to have new news! )

Very exciting! As you guys said, I'm very very happy to have a new project to talk about! And I believe Jason is only choosing projects so he can see the world! No, really - it sounds like another grit your teeth and get into it role - and a fascinating subject and locale to boot. Why wouldn't he hop on the project?
